24 weeks

<----16 weeks

<--- 24 weeks



Pregnancy: 24 weeks

Baby's Size: as long as an ear of corn- 1.25 pounds and about a foot long!

Weight Gain: +20. No comment. I think after a few more weeks I'm going to quit answering this question. :)

Maternity Clothes: No official maternity pants yet, but the time is near. I can still get away with the "belly band" on my regular jeans.

Sleep: I'm sleeping pretty well still! I'm starting to toss a little in the night, but not enough to disturb my peaceful slumber.

Gender: It's a boy!
 
Name: Deciding between Grayson and Bennett... leaning toward Bennett, but nothing is official.

Feeling: Feeling? Feeling a little bit like a heifer.

Health: So far, so good! I may or may not be doing the GD test in the next few weeks.

Heartbeat: in the 140's


Movement: Lots and lots of movement! Sometimes I can see the outside of my belly moving!

Baby Center Update: Your baby's growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts him at just over a pound. Since he's almost a foot long (picture an ear of corn), he cuts a pretty lean figure at this point, but his body is filling out proportionally and he'll soon start to plump up. His brain is also growing quickly now, and his taste buds are continuing to develop. His lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help his air sacs inflate once he hits the outside world. His skin is still thin and translucent, but that will start to change soon.
